Does being on one's own evokes loneliness or freedom? Through your monochrome masterpieces, show us what "solitude" means to you.

It could be a sight of a lonely cabin in the woods or experiencing a day on a idyllic island. Being alone could also mean feeling out of place at a party with friends or an afternoon of quiet and peace at home. Define "solitude" through your black and white photographs and you could be the champ of this challenge!

Each participant can submit up to 10 photographs. This competition, which serves as the qualifying round for the Monochrome category, is open to all.
